We are in an amazing mood. 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:13.280 We slept fantastic last night, probably eight nine, ten hours. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.040 We are not great, folks. We are in a bad spot. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:20.640 We are in a bad, bad shape. Yeah, it's a 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:24.360 good old therapy session here for Playboy Marty. And as 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.840 an extension, as someone who promised to root for the 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.080 Suns all the way out when the Blazers. 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:33.000 Got pushed out, I am also sad. 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.280 I am sad for a bunch of reasons. We're gonna 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.600 have a good old session with a therapy, good old 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.440 fashioned therapy session with Playboy Marty. I mean his face 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.680 if you could see it, if you're watching on YouTube, 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.440 it's sad. I mean it's very dejected. Anyway, So we're 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.680 talking about it. It's probably maybe one of Marty's worst 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.600 days at work that he's had in a. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:56.280 Long long time. 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:57.920 That'd be fair, that'd be fair to say. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.200 I think he's probably still still drunk. He had a 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.880 lot to drink last night. Yeah, so in Milwaukee Bucks. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.039 If you don't know or are NBA champions right now? Uh, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.600 something that I said on record probably six months ago, 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.560 would never happen as currently constructed. 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:14.520 So I'm feeling awesome. 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.560 Uh, we'll break down the game the championship, and I 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.480 think that this has ripple effects for the rest of 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.039 the league, and so we'll talk about those as well. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:29.000 All right, Marty, drop that Mickey Mouse fucking beat to 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:29.600 take care. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.440 You'll be waiting for area plan. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:41.520 At the grand I go, let me go. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:53.200 I have to declare this Sons in four actually is real? 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:53.559 Now. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:54.680 Uh. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.880 It was a Son's loss four times in a row. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.520 Sons were out in four. You had to win four 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.680 out of five games and they I mean, this is 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.400 not gonna be fun for you because I'm gonna make 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:07.800 fun of it. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.760 But it was Sons and four out. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.559 They literally it's a new version of a gentleman sweep 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.000 where you spot the other team too and then you 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.800 just sweep them after that. Fucking terrible awful it's Bucks 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.840 and six. Everybody was saying Bucks and six all day 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:24.360 every day. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.920 I mean, this is fucking awful. It's fucking awful. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.920 I'm happy for you, honest, happy for Drew. Just absolutely 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:32.880 sickened and gutted. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.840 That's it. It ends there. Fuck the rest of eh. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.480 I don't even really want to go there. I'm just 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:43.240 so fucking sad. I'm so fucking sad. Like everything about 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.920 this series. It was so great in the beginning and 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.680 then just like so many things could have gone different ways, 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.160 and it's just it, it's so disappointing. But I mean, Yannis, 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.959 Yannis went out and earned it. Yannis went on neard it. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.120 And I know we're gonna get there and we're gonna 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.120 get to the Yannas like throating session, which is well deserved. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.320 But yeah, I mean he just went out and took it. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:07.800 As an aside. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.560 The thing that I think is the most I would say, 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:12.680 like how would I put it? 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:13.160 Sting? 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.600 The sting for me because I always think about like 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.800 these guys in their lives too, Like Devin Booker is 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:27.960 about to get on a private jet for fourteen hours 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.959 on Friday with Drew Holiday and Chris Middleton. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.320 That Aggie fuck and that's it. Fucked Chris Middleton. Okay, 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.600 I will say fuck Chris Middleton. Fuck him, all right? 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.280 Can you just explain more. 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.000 I just don't like him. He went to Texas a 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.720 and m He's a fucking douchebag. Fuck him. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.880 He's a fucking douchebag. He is a like a very 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.119 comeback story guy. But I guess I guess it's fuck him. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:51.240 Uh. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.600 Not a lot of Aggie's running around in the league 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.320 that are any good, except for Alex Cruso. But now 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.680 Devin Booker is gonna have to just literally sit with 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.640 these two dudes with They might even bring the fucking 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.160 Larry O'Brian Trophy with them, which would be just a 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:08.160 fucking sting. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.560 Like I don't even know what you do. 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.640 Do you just put your headphones on and you just 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.720 like fall asleep? Do you recount certain plays like, yo, 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.560 you fouled me here, you piece of shit Drew Holiday 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:21.400 in Game four? 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.920 That was a foul? What do you do? Fourteen hours? 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.400 That's the most unique thing to ever happen in the NBA. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.920 Yeah, no, it really is. I mean with I mean, 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.120 this is two days removed right in the Olympica. I mean, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.800 because the season was delayed, you usually have like at 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.640 least like a little bit of time here. So yeah, no, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.599 this is a very unique thing. I mean, yeah no, 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.240 I mean Book did everything he could. It's not like 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:49.640 Book has any regrets here. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.720 Book did not play well last night. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.920 He played well the whole seeded back to back forty 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.480 point games in game four, Game five, And it's not 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.360 like he lost the game last night, like Booker has. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.280 No, he did not lose. I do not want to 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.080 say that he lost. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.159 I know, I know I'm not saying that's what you 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.120 were saying. But like, as far as like regrets go, 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.920 I don't think Booker has a whole lot of them. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.120 See, personal regrets are one thing. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:13.120 Uh. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:14.440 Team regrets or another. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:19.120 Uh, like just the energy of being with two champs. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.160 It's just you three, just you three. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.480 It's gonna, no doubt about it to be fucking and 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.640 they're gonna be you know how it is when you win. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.839 I don't know you played sports or no, you played. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.000 With My athletic career was very short, but I did 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:32.520 play sports. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.720 So like, when you have a win, all you want 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.240 to do is just like relitigate every part of the win. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.800 And that is what probably those fourteen hours will be 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.680 spent doing, like, oh yeah, you remember that one play? 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.680 Like fuck this if I always book Like can I 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.800 get my own plane? 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.360 I'd like my own plane? Please? Fuck. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.839 It's sad, you know, Let's just back up for a 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.159 second and say how we get to this place, because 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.280 I have to admit it was an unlikely place for 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.840 us to end up, so unlikely that I was. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.040 I staked my flag. 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.080 In the Milwaukee will never win a championship as currently 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.200 constructed universe on that planet. 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.680 I was like, no, I just don't. I just don't 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:23.160 see it. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.600 And truthfully, do you blame yourself a little bit? 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.520 You know, I think it does need to be said 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.599 that there is a possibility that the universe loves it 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.520 when I make these declarative statements on the record, because 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.599 every one of them, because that was a very declarative. 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.839 It wasn't like overrated jazz. It was very declarative. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.760 And the mushing you've been here for the all of 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.760 the takes, and like the amount of MUSHes that have 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.520 happened are like almost as improbable as Chris Paul going 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.600 up to oh four straight times and losing four straight times. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.520 Yeah, no, for sure, Yes, the son the Son's were 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.400 doing pretty well before you before. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:10.880 Yeah, I do feel slightly responsible. I feel I feel 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.320 down right sad for the take, like I should have 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:16.920 just been on the Milwaukee train. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.440 I guess I look like shit right now, Like I'm 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.200 looking at myself in the fucking recording. I we're we're 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.440 not doing good. We're down bad. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.800 We're so bad, down so bad? How bad are we down? 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.640 We are down so bad that my. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:37.320 Coworkers saved every single Bucks take I've ever made on 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:45.320 the podcast on TikTok on Twitter, bookmarked them all every 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:50.800 blog I've written and had them ready to go as 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.320 soon as the Bucks want it. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.200 That is how down bad. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.920 I don't know what that really means. I mean, obviously 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.080 they were thinking about it. There was a compilation video made. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.000 Yeah, I didn't spend. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.880 Time watch it, but I did, But I did. I mean, 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.360 I you saw its existing my mind. My mind's been 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.720 elsewhere in the last no, I get it twelve hours. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.600 The compilation video is like four minutes long, and it 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:16.560 was highly produced. 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:21.360 We'll just say that. Yeah, a lot of views, a lot. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.520 Of people coming for my neck on that take, and 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.240 I had to apologize. I did apologize. I said it 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.840 was disrespectful what I said about the Bucks. It turned 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.640 out to be completely wrong again, kind of like the 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.320 Nate McMillan take where it's like, I didn't know that 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.600 you guys were going to transform the identity of your 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.320 team midway through the playoffs. But here we are, like 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.160 you have to just stand in your truth, face the 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.360 music and say, wow, I'm sorry to Bucks fans. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.920 I just can't believe Budenholser is going to get the credit. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.720 My mind's all over the place. But like right now 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.400 I'm thinking about Bootenholzer, like he's. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.400 Going to get a life time contract now. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.160 Like Joanna's won that champion. No, just be fucking real. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.559 I mean, Middleton had some good games, Mike Budenholzer had. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.360 I don't want to say nothing. Actually yeah, I'll borderline 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.120 on saying Mike Budenholzer had like next to nothing to 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:15.079 do with this championship. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:16.600 Yeah, next to nothing. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.640 Bobby I hate him. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.199 Bobby portis uh embedded into the lineup was kind of 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.640 a nice little call. Uh, the pat Conaton getting some 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.360 minutes when Dante DiVincenzo went went down. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.400 Yeah, I mean, I'm hating so much. I'm hating so 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.319 much and to our listeners and to our listeners, I apologize. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.439 I'm just this is a tough day.

I mean what it was always 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.440 like suns down six, That's what it kind of feels like. 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.520 It was just like that the entire quarter and just 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.800 once yeah, with like three minutes left, it was pretty 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.440 obvious like okay, we're not we're not coming back from this. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.120 And I just I was at this bar, uh in 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:09.920 the East village. 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.400 Son't you watch a pivotal game at a bar? 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:14.440 What do you mean? 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:14.760 Like? 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.640 Where I needed to be around people, like if if 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.240 we'd have lost, and I was just like at home, like. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.000 You might not have come here today, is what you're saying. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:27.040 I just I was preparing myself to like be okay 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.200 where a loss to happen, and like I needed to 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:30.960 like sort of be around people, and like I met 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:35.360 a friend out afterwards, and it was okay, like we 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.120 I mean, we made it here, we made it here, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.960 We're we're doing okay.

I don't have I don't have a whole 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.200 lot to expound on that. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:51.360 It was just very disappointing, and Papa Black he was despondent. 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.320 We talked, We talked on the phone. I called him. Uh, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.520 I was sitting on a fucking like doorstep in the 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.920 east village somewhere and I just I just called him. 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:04.600 I just had to talk to him, and Uh, yeah, like, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.480 well we're gonna be okay, We're gonna be back, We're 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.959 gonna be back, if not next year, the year after. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.200 That's kind of where we arrived at in our conversation. Uh, 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.320 it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Eventually, a SUNS championship 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.319 is gonna happen, and uh, we're gonna be there for it. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.640 So now what's strange to me is that the world 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.880 is now spinning back onto its head. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.520 You know, it's funny because like when you're the one 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:32.679 who firm. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.600 Believes the opposite and the world turns on its head 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.120 against you, You're like, this is the most ridiculous thing 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.520 I've ever heard. And that's where we're at right now 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.559 with the Chris Paul is he going to retire? 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.800 Take? I have wait? People are saying that, Yeah. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.920 People are asking if Chris Paul is ready to retire. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.360 Now, I mean, he's gonna make like one hundred and 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.320 twenty million more dollars, Like I don't. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.000 Like, Hey, Chris Paul, we know that this loss stings, 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:04.080 and this is your fourth straight appearance losing up to Oh, 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.240 but how do you feel about giving up one hundred 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.040 and twenty million dollars and just riding off into the 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.440 sunset licking your wounds in one of the most sad, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.120 despondent ways as you were a part of that loss? 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:21.079 Like no, Like I was like, no, I don't understand this. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.600 This has been said like by real journalists, So that's happening. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.880 I mean, I do think it's very interesting. Like will 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.840 he be back with the Suns next year? I think yes, 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.600 I think yes right now as of today what it 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.800 was stake leave twenty first, Like I do think today 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.760 he will be back. But I mean, I think it 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.040 is a very interesting storyline. 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.160 I think if you're Chris Paul and you leave when 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.920 you were what percentage would you say Chris Paul was 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.600 responsible for that finals loss? 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.080 Forty thirty twenty ten? 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.280 You know, I'm not that type of fan, so I don't. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.840 Really I say thirty that's my gut. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.160 He actually he actually played pretty well last night, but. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.880 I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about four and five. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.680 Those are those are on him. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.560 And so to me, if you leave and you're Chris 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.280 Paul and you were in his heart, he probably thinks 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.120 he's one hundred percent responsible because he's like that kind 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.120 of guy, good guy. Then if you leave the Suns, 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.480 you have abandoned them after they're doing them wrong. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.000 I don't think it's possible for him to leave. They're 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:27.640 right there. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.240 They had that championship that was theirs. They can do 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.280 it again if he can stay healthy and they can 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.760 get a backup center because Dario Sarich will now be 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.280 out for an entire more an entire year. They're gonna 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.640 need to not resign Frank Kaminski, who had a great game, by. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.480 The way, shout out Frank. He actually every everything he 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.600 did last night was positive. Actually yeah, yeah, Frank, Frank 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:50.240 played pretty good. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.680 They're gonna need a backup center like now now. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.360 But if he was to leave, that would be I 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.959 think I would say that would be a bitch move. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.040 I mean, where does he go? Does he go to 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.440 the Lakers like they can't afford him? I mean, unless 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.280 he just wants to take a serious pay cut, Like 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.760 that's something that I guess could. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:13.680 Happen after Yannie stabs everyone in the eye and says, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.600 this is what you do if you're a real man. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.880 You stick with your team and you don't try to 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.000 form super teams like if he were to go to 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:21.920 the Lakers. 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.760 After that fucking speech. I don't know. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.960 I haven't watched. I mean, I know he said something 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.880 like that. When we play when we play the clips later, 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:32.760 that's gonna be my first time watching this. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.720 All right, So let's just talk about Let's just talk 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.920 about the Bucks from a high level perspective. Goddamn, the 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.800 Bucks went pretty much all in this year. 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.120 They knew that they had a. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.800 Generational talent in Yannis. Yannis had not signed. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:51.160 The super Max. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.880 We talked about this last episode, and they decided that 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.640 the number one seed was less important than testing out 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:02.520 new wrinkles and new schemes, and that for sure paid off. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.600 They extended Drew after trading for Drew for a million pieces, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.760 and that could have been a disaster that ended up 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.520 being the right move. They chose to keep Middleton as 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.360 a co star, which I think that was under scrutiny 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.600 and debate. That turned out to be a correct move. 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.960 Brook Lopez. They signed for like no money, for like 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.520 twelve million dollars. Anybody in the league would love brook 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:33.400 Lopez for twelve He basically changed his entire game to 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.920 fit what the Milwaukee Bucks wanted him to do. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.120 He changed fucking Disney adult. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.440 Disney adult he is. He changed his offense, he changed 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:43.160 his defense. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.760 At one point in the first five years of his career, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.960 he didn't shoot a single three pointer, and now he's 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.760 fucking Chris Bosch for the Miami Heat. He's like five 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.240 three point attempts per game for the last three years. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:03.480 Then after they got drew, they decided, no, we still 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.600 need some toughness, we still need some grit. And I 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.880 actually really feel very strongly about this Bucks take still. 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:11.840 I said PJ. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.000 Tucker would be fucking a massive Nobody was talking about that. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.640 Nobody was like, oh, yeah, PJ. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.560 Tucker will be a piece, And I was like, Yo, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.440 this is gonna be He's gonna come up huge. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:21.040 PJ. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.440 Tucker and Bobby Portis, they said to themselves are going 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.520 to be really integral role players in key moments, and 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.360 they were at different moments in the playoff run, Bobby 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.480 Portis in the Finals, and PJ Tucker in the net 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:34.640 series specifically, I. 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.520 Mean, I mean Pj's defense was huge, like in this series. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.960 In this series as well, Yeah, PJ was they got 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.760 him for nothing.

Like I'm begrudgingly 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.920 very thrilled for PG. I mean, with Sam, he was 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.240 on some really bad Suns teams, like really bad, like 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.600 like what years were that that was like twenty thirteen 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.440 to seventeen, like that, he's for a long time. He 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.600 played as hard as he played in the NBA Finals 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.440 for those shitty Suns teams.

Oh no, he did not deter success. 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.040 He did not spoil it.

You shouldn't have woman. Yeah, I mean 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:31.439 they learned. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.040 And also they got out their horrible half court team 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:40.479 half court teams usually, like are the winners of these 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.960 NBA playoffs, Like the best half court teams usually succeed. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:45.960 And they were like, no, no, fuck you, We're gonna 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.399 just get out and transition anyway. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.359 Yeah, but I mean that was the that was the 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.320 Drew Holliday edition that Ye helped them. Like do that, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.400 I mean Kelly, when you compare him to help that offense? 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.359 Yeah, Eric Bledsoe was bad. 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:02.400 Yeah. 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:03.760 So yeah. 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.560 Uh, and now we get into the portion of the 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.360 show where it's the honest philating. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.879 Uh, it's the honest ffilating portion. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.200 I'm actually more excited for this part because. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:21.560 Yannis fifty points, fourteen rebounds, and six blocks. Probably, I 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.600 don't know of a better performance there. I think this 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.480 is probably going to go down as the best game 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:29.600 performance in the finals ever. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.719 To clinch maybe maybe, Yeah, I mean he I mean, 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.679 I mean he went out and just grabbed it like 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:39.480 he was so I don't even know the exact way 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.720 to say.
